company employs 800 men under the age of 55. Suppose that 30% carry a marker on the male chromosome that indicates an increased risk for high blood pressure. a. If 10 men in the company are tested for the marker in this chromosome, what is the probability that exactly 1 man has the marker? b. If 10 men in the company are tested for the marker in this chromosome, what is the probability that more than 1 has the marker?
